Prophecy today is hardly the romantic business that it used to be. The old tools of the trade, like the sword, the hair shirt, and... the long fast in the wilderness, have given way to more contemporary, mundane instruments of doom--the book, the picket and the petition, the sit-in ... at City Hall.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Escalus. What do you think of the trade, Pompey? Is it a lawful trade? Pompey. If the law would allow it, sir.... Escalus. But the law will not allow it, Pompey; nor it shall not be allowed in Vienna. Pompey. Does your worship mean to geld and spay all the youth of the city? Escalus. No, Pompey. Pompey. Truly, sir, in my poor opinion they will to't then. If your worship will take order for the drabs and the knaves, you need not to fear the bawds.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Hispanic gives us all one ultimate paternal cultural progenitor: Spain. The diverse cultures already on the American shores when t...he Europeans arrived, as well as those introduced because of the African slave trade, are completely obliterated by the term. Hispanic is nothing more than a concession made by the U. S. legislature when they saw they couldn't get rid of us. If we won't go away, why not at least Europeanize us, make us presentable guests at the dinner table, take away our feathers and rattles and civilize us once and for all.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of... these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Miss Weare attended on Lady Dellwyn as her shadow. And as she had before received a great deal of flattery at second hand, so she ...now received a great deal of contempt in the same manner, with this material difference, that the flattery which came to her share ... lost much of its respectful manner by the way, whereas [the] contempt fell with redoubled force on her ... insomuch that Miss Weare often repined and secretly wished that she had rather submitted to the meanest employment ... than taken up the trade of being an humble companion.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
English general and singular terms, identity, quantification, and the whole bag of ontological tricks may be correlated with eleme...nts of the native language in any of various mutually incompatible ways, each compatible with all possible linguistic data, and none preferable to another save as favored by a rationalization of the native language that is simple and natural to us.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Having achieved political liberty for women this organization pledges itself to make an end to the subjection of women in all its ...remaining forms. Among our tasks we emphasize these: 1. To remove all barriers of law or custom or regulation which prevent women from holding public office--the highest as well as the lowest--from entering into and succeeding in any profession, from going into or getting on in any business, from practicing any trade of joining the union of her trade. 2. So to remake the marriage laws and so to modify public opinion that the status of the woman whose chosen work is homemaking shall no longer be that of the dependent entitled to her board and keep in return for her services, but that of a full partner. 3. To rid the country of all laws which deny women access to scientific information concerning the limitation of families. 4. To re-write the laws of divorce, of inheritance, of the guardianship of children, and the laws for the regulation of sexual morality and disease, on a basis of equality, equal rights, equal responsibilities, equal standards. 5. To legitimatize [sic] all children. 6. To establish a liberal endowment of motherhood.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
